Cipro
If you have every suffered from a severe urinary tract infection, chances are that your health care provider sent you home with a prescription for Cipro. Prescription strength Cipro is an excellent antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. In fact, Cipro has been used for over 15 years and is available in over 100 countries. The FDA has approved this medication to treat fourteen different types of infections.
Cipro is most commonly used to treat urinary tract infections. It works fast and gives patients needed relief. This prescription medication is also used to treat acute cystitis, pyelonephritis and chronic bacterial prostatitis. Cipro is generally well tolerated, meaning that most people do not experience any to little side effects.
Urinary tract infections affect many adults every single year. Some people are lucky enough to only get one or two UTIs in a lifetime, while others experience more chronic problems associated with urinary tract infections. These infections are caused when bacteria enters normally sterile urine. It passes through the tract and causes painful cramps and sometimes bleeding when urinating. Women are most likely to be affected by these painful irritations, although men are at risk, too. Even children can get urinary tract infections.
The treatment for urinary tract infections is pretty simple. After a urine test to confirm the presence of bacteria in the urine, your doctor will prescribe a medication such as Cipro. You can also help speed up the recovery time by taking in plenty of fluids (such as water and cranberry juice) to help flush out the system. Cipro is usually given twice a day for up to seven days. If you have a serious infection, your doctor may want to see you again for another urine test. Taking a prescription medication such as Cipro can help ensure that you are on your way to a fast recovery.
